Hence, the public auction as notified shall go on and finalization of the auction process shall be completed after identifying the successful bidders. However, the same shall not be given effect to pending further orders.” 3.

Recording the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioners, no further orders are necessary and the Contempt Case is closed. No order as to costs.
